I'm really excited for tonight's match, but I can't shake this ominous
feeling that KOS-MOS has a much higher chance of failing than Diablo.
Let's hope these fears are unfounded! --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

How exactly can it be closer than expected? Everyone's already

it being close. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

Also, this is the REAL WAY to pronounce KOS-MOS. Kos, as in 'coast' without the t sound at the end. Mos, as in 'most' without the t sound at the end. --- He wields the blade of a fallen hero, but now he is the hero, and it is the others who fall. He is rising. |

Rikku appears to be launching a comeback, right on schedule with the

2700, and Magus made up 300 of that by midnight, and another 700 from midnight to 3 AM. --- "..Which means I am a product of that thing...I am no different from Lucca and the others...I am a part of all living things!" ~Robo, Chrono Trigger |
| Lopen | Posted 9/3/2007 3:35:47 PM | message detail |
| Bout 2500. Magus only took about 600 or 700
back... and he had three more hours to do it than Rikku had. And he
didn't have Vaan and Yoshi to bug him. Not liking Rikku's chances,
here. But... go Rikku! --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

It's also notable that Magus made up that difference in a head-to-head
poll. In a format like this, where Yoshi and even Vaan are sucking up
so many votes, coming back from 1200 down just isn't feasible. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

What kind of lead did Knuckles have on Magus at this time? 2300 so Magus had already cut into the lead by 400. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 1: Yoshi > Knuckles Points: 0/0 |

Yeah, Magus made up 170 votes in 10 minutes to start off his
comeback.....which was followed by hours of no real significant cuts.
Suspicious. --- "..Which means I am a product of that thing...I am no different from Lucca and the others...I am a part of all living things!" ~Robo, Chrono Trigger |
| Lopen | Posted 9/3/2007 3:40:38 PM | message detail |
| Well it's not quite as big a problem as it looks,
because although Yoshi and Vaan are stealing almost half the votes, the
poll is also looking to get about 1.5 times the votes. So if Rikku
hacked at Knuckles as well as Magus did she could take 3/4ths his
total. Obviously, that's not gonna cut it here, she has to be more effective than Magus was. But I'm just saying. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

well so far, nothing doing, rikku's lost 8 votes in the last hour or so. --- Come visit my board, Hektik, In the C-64 today! Not changing this until Casey Mears wins his 2nd Nascar Cup race. Started 7/7/07 |

Let's see we're expected to get 166k votes (probably less because the
vote total is slowing down faster than usual) and if we remove the
predicted Yoshi and Vaan votes Rikku needs to get over 53% of the vote
over Knuckles. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 1: Yoshi > Knuckles Points: 0/0 |

It's possible, just not likely... I think . Granted I made my bracket in about five minutes without giving much thought to things when it was released, and just now realized the contest started and looked at the last few updates realizing I should have probably edited the bracket once or twice, so I really have no idea what the hell I'm talking about at the moment. >_> --- sig |
